<p>Composition and Rhetoric, Visual Rhetoric, Early American Literature</p>
<h6><strong>Biography</strong></h6>
<p>I received a B.A. in Liberal Studies (with a minor in literature) from the University of Washington in 1997.&nbsp; I graduated from Central Washington University in 2003 with an M.A. in English and focuses in film studies and composition.&nbsp; While at Central, I taught composition and film studies courses. <br /><br />Currently, I am finishing my dissertation (tentative title is <em>Eyesight and Insight:&nbsp; The Link between Critical Thinking, Visual Rhetoric, and Writing in First-Year Composition</em>)<em> </em>&nbsp;and will graduate in 2014 with a Ph.D. in English from Oklahoma State University.&nbsp; The studies I completed at Oklahoma State provided a wonderful opportunity to combine my background in composition and in film studies and introduced an opportunity to explore the benefits of visual and aural texts in the composition classroom.<br /><br />I also remain active in the study of literature (specifically, early American literature) by presenting at local conferences and seeking out publication opportunities.</p>
